Investing in Disability-Inclusive Climate Justice: A guide for funders

Disability Rights Fund, Impatience Earth, and Impatience Wellbeing have collaborated to create this groundbreaking guide: Investing in Disability-Inclusive Climate Justice: A Guide for Funders. 

This guide explores the intersection between disability rights and climate justice, emphasising the disproportionate impact of climate change on people with disabilities among other marginalized groups. Given the lack of funding to address these inequities, research findings and recommendations are presented. The research involved reviewing existing literature and analysing inputs from organisations of persons with disabilities (OPDs/DPOs), nongovernmental organisations (I/NGOs) and philanthropic funders. The findings underscore the urgent and strategic imperative to increase support for intersectional, disability-inclusive and gender-just approaches to climate action that prioritise equity, interdependence and individuality.
